Wanna be

 

tunic: c/o sheinside   jeggings: gap   sandals: old navy 

I think if there's one style I wish I could pull off it would be the hippy look.  Long braided hair, flowy dresses and cute sandals.  I've wanted an embroidered dress/tunic for a long time, and I remember last year clicking on many bloggers pages looking into their cute tops or dresses and they were always so expensive.  This top is less than $20, and while it says dress, it's definitely more a tunic for me.  Maybe a good beach coverup or good with leggings, but a little too short and see through by itself.  But I love it as a top!  

And I did plant some basil and cilantro and a bunch of flowers this weekend, plus got this for Mother's Day, which puts me a little closer to hippish, right?  Or maybe having a garden and herbs is just being an adult.  Either way, it makes me happy! 

Hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed your Mother's Day!

What would you buy with $100 to Amazon

kimono: c/o sheinside   tank top & jeans: old navy   shoes: target

I think I've asked this question before but I need your help again.  We get a lot of things on Amazon, like coffee, dog food, computer ink, cleaning stuff.  I am not looking for practical things here.  I'm looking for something fun.  While normally not a big fan of buying books, I do want Shauna Niequest's new book Savor so I will probably buy that.  What else would you buy if someone gave you $100 to spend on Amazon? 

And totally unrelated is how much I love this new kimono (right now only $16).  I wore it Saturday and Sunday this weekend.  Once with this outfit and then again with a pair of shorts Sunday.  With the same tank top I should add, because I like it so much too.  

Liz liked it so much she tried to steal it last week when she was here.  Super cute for a pregnant belly, right?  And isn't she the cutest? 

I couldn't live without . . . . online shopping

I never used to be an online shopper, and there are still things that I wouldn't buy online like jeans, unless I had the exact pair already and knew how they'd fit.  But in the last two years I find myself often buying things online, whether through deal a day sites or cheaper clothing sites, like Sheinside.  I've been given a good amount of clothes from them and I have loved each one.  Here are some of my favorites: 

striped dress //  grey ruffle top

floral top //  jogger pants

These two pieces are on their way to me and I can't wait to wear them.  I've wanted an embroidered dress for awhile and think this tunic will be cute with jeans or leggings (and it's under $20).  I think this floral kimono will be super cute with the striped dress above or a striped tank top.

If you thought booties were bad

dress: c/o sheinside   boots: target

I've tried to avoid typing or writing the word bootie too often.  It just doesn't feel right to say, and I feel like unless I'm referring to baby shoes, I shouldn't be using it.  But somehow it's slowly slipped into my vocabulary as my love for them has increased over the year.  These trusty $8 booties from Target have certainly gotten their share of wear this last year.  

A few weeks ago a friend used the word shooties instead and I had to ask her twice what she was saying.  I had never heard that one before, but my sister than tagged me in someone's instagram post using it too.  I think I'll stick with booties if I have to pick one. 

Side note.  I tried for at least 10 minutes to use photoshop to get rid of the splashed mud on my garage door.  That is ten minutes I'll never get back and could have probably cleaned at least half of it during that time.  Lesson learned.  

(I love this new dress from sheinside and have had a few people ask me about their sizing.  I always check the measurements in the description as each item seems to vary in what size I get.)
